An introduction to Groovy, Gradle and the Android plugin. This talk was given at a local GDG MN meetup. I recorded a screencast.

As stated near the beginning, I'm still new to this topic, so I'm sure I got some of it wrong. Let me know! I'll update the comments here to reflect more accurate information.

Known incorrect statements:

- Groovy can be compiled statically (if you want).- Gradle is actually a three-step build process, where the first step is figuring out *which* projects to build.- Ignore my poor grasp of the definition of a REPL.
